Google Maps Icon Using Bootstrap In ASP.NET MVC - Part Four

You can specify an image file like JPEG , PNG or GIF file instead of the default marker.

Introduction

You can specify an image instead of the default marker in Google Maps.

Description

Follow my Google Maps Part-1 ,Part-2 and Part-3 blogs before you go through the Part-4.

Steps

Create a Controller action method named "Icon" in the same Controller class named "HomeController.cs". 

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;

namespace SatyaGoogleMapBootstrapMVC.Controllers
{
    public class HomeController : Controller
    {
        //
        // GET: /Home/

        public ActionResult Index()
        {
            return View();
        }
        public ActionResult Details()
        {
            return View();
        }
        public ActionResult Animate()
        {
            return View();
        }
        public ActionResult Icon()
        {
            return View();
        }
    }
}

 Then, create a View named "Icon.cshtml".

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Satyaprakash Google Map Icon";
}

<title>@ViewBag.Title</title>

<h2 style="background-color: Yellow;color: Blue; text-align: center; font-style: oblique">Satyaprakash's Google Map Icon Using MVC and BOOTSTRAP</h2>
<fieldset>
    <legend style="font-family: Arial Black; color: blue; font-size: large;">Check Google Map Icon</legend>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css">
    <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

    <div id="map" style="width:100%;height:500px"></div>
    <script>
        function myMap() {
            var mapCanvas = document.getElementById("map");
            var myCenter = new google.maps.LatLng(20.296100, 85.824500);
            var mapOptions = { center: myCenter, zoom: 12 };
            var map = new google.maps.Map(mapCanvas, mapOptions);
            var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
                position: myCenter,
                icon: "Flag.png"
            });
            marker.setMap(map);
        }
    </script>

    <script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=put_your_key&callback=myMap"></script>

</fieldset>
<footer>
    <p style="background-color: Yellow; font-weight: bold; color:blue; text-align: center; font-style: oblique">© @DateTime.Now.ToLocalTime()</p> @*Add Date Time*@
</footer>

Here, I set my own image file instead of default Google Maps marker.

var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
                position: myCenter,
                icon: "Flag.png"
            });
